Major Disruption at Manchester Piccadilly Station

0:00On April 16, major disruption hitting Manchester Piccadilly station this afternoon after damage to the overhead electric wires blocked key lines. Trains heading to or from there are getting canceled or hit with delays up to 60 minutes, messing up travel plans big time. Operators like Avanti West Coast, Cross Country, East Midlands Railway, Northern, Transpennine Express and Transport for Wales all put out warnings, urging folks to rethink their trips. Passengers are getting straight advice not to head to Piccadilly at all, with dozens of services already scrapped or running way behind schedule. Network rail sending a team right to the site to sort it out, but major headaches look set to drag on through the end of the day. Keep an eye on apps or websites for the latest updates and plan alternate routes if you're in the area. Stay smooth out there.
